RFP PROCESS
On September 12, 2012, the Mayor and City Commission approved the issuance of Request
for Proposals (RFP) No. 68-11/12, for Electric Fireworks and Pyrotechnics for the City's Fourth
of July Celebration (RFP).
RFP No. 68-11/12 was issued on September 26, 2012, with an opening date of November 6,
2012. A pre-proposal conference to provide Information to the proposers submitting a
response was held on October 12, 2012.
BidNet issued bid notices to 11 prospective proposers and two (2) proposers downloaded the
bid notification. 12 additional proposers were notified via e~mail after contacting the American
Pyrotechnics Association with the intent of maximizing competition and participation. However,
the City only received one ( 1) proposal from Zambelli Fireworks.
The Procurement Division reached out to the prospective proposers whom received a copy of
the RFP and elected not to submit a response to inquire about the reasons why they did not
submit a response. The following are the responses we received in this regard:
"Because we are ve1y carefully selecting new July 4th business we won't be bidding on
the Miami Beach show this year. Should things change we will definitely stay in touch. We
291
Commission Memorandum-RFP # 68-11-12 Fireworks
January 16, 2013
Page3
have a few shows we are currently bidding on that are in the $35,000 to $50,000 range which
is what we are trying to do this coming year and for the future. We are trying to take some of
our smaller shows and combine crews on larger shows. Because electrical equipment is so
expensive we are trying to make the most of our July 4th business and maximize our shows
dollar value. It is impottant for us to maximize profits on the July 4th holiday. There is a point
when as a company doing 650 shows nationally on the 4th we have to begin maximizing the
July 4th shows and focus on off date business which is something we are doing because
taking on too many shows and relying on skeleton crews is not the way to run a business. We
would prefer to turn down your show than to risk under delivering because we stretched our
crew and equipment capabilities on that day. Thanks and stay in touch as things are always
changing." Chris Liberator, Pyrotecnico
"I really want to do your fireworks, would like you to keep this email and my phone
number. My Mom went into the hospital twice in the last month, I heard about your bid late
and did not have the time to finish. I want to work to be your company for next year and hope
we can be your second choice or backup if you need help this year. Thank you for your
excellent help and service". Bill Flett, Add Fire
"/ am writing in response to your request as to why Garden State Fireworks did not
elect to submit a bid for this event. Based on the intended budget of $25,000.00 we choose to
pass on possible consideration. Our production value and patticipation is at a significant level
above our competition. We ensure only the most highly trained individuals are allocated to
each display and we must carefully assess how we allocate that manpower each year on July
4th. Additionally, we use the most expensive hardware and software systems in the industry
to prepare the displays. This was purely an issue of best deciding how to allocate our
manpower and equipment in the most beneficial manner on July 4th. If the show were a
minimum of $40,000.00 budget on July 4th for an electrical display or on an off date where
equipment and manpower are at a surplus, we would have bid the display. Please keep us in
consideration for all future projects during the entire year. We appreciate the diligence of your
follow up and wish you the best for your event." August N. Santore, Jr., Garden State
Fireworks
''Thank you for the oppottunity. Unfottunate/y, after assessing our expected workload
for July 4th we were not 100% confident we could commit a crew for your event. We always
want to be over confident that we are ready to deliver the most outstanding display possible
and at the time of the bid due date we did not feel we could commit to the event. We annually
perform displays in the Miami area including July 4th in the city of Dora! and we are constantly
expanding our capacity in our Florida base and do hope to be considered for future
opportunities for your event. Please do keep us on the City's bid list as we look forward to
future opportunities. Thanks again." Chris Santore, Garden State Fireworks, Inc.
"Yes because I believe the bid process does not choose the best company for the
show for the people of its community the board is blindsided by professional bidders who know
how to play the game. I choose not to play the game and milk the people. I would not change
my design of a show so that i can win a bid you have a-budget and its my job to give you the
best show for your budget not to conform to how my show should be shot in order to win or
have it designed by a committee who wants to dictate what will be shot the bidding process
should be thrown away on fireworks and should first go to the local companies that can handle
it then seek other companies in other states." Steve, Sparktacular

''Thank you for the opportunity, but unfortunately we were unable to submit a response.
The major reason( s) are the overwhelming amount of requests for fireworks displays on your
chosen date, as even a company as large as ours, has certain limits to equipment and
manpower. Also, the requested budget ''ranges" that are required by your RFP, while keeping
open the City's options of underwriting and sponsorship, hamper our ability to forecast
inventory, transport and scheduling. This is not to be taken as criticism, but with so many
established clients that have their event on July 4th, it is best that we do not submit a proposal.
We fully understand the desire to have your event on Independence Day. I would hope that
municipalities would consider other dates in the future, for some of the following reasons:
By choosing an alternate date (IE July 1,2,3 or weekends that fall before or after the actual
date),
1 .... companies such as ours, may have openings in our production schedules, and are apt to
be more aggressive in our bidding.
2 .... your event would not be in competition with similar local displays, and your attendance
potentially would be larger.
3 .... your ancillary costs (IE overtime for PO, FD, etc.) for hosting a major event could be
dramatically reduced.
4 .... more of your potential attendees may not be "away on vacation" or have to work on July
5th, when it falls on a weekday.
Again, we sincerely thank you for considering Bay Fireworks. I trust that we may be able to
work together in the future, but just not on July 4, 2013. " Thank you, Sig Rosen,
Bayfireworks
'~We serve the upper Midwest (Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa) as our primary region.
Off the 4th we do look for opporlunities worldwide and enjoy producing large complex shows
with great success ... but on the 4th, we stick close to home as the needs here are also strong.
Thank you for the invite, but we will pass on the 4th of July. If you need something a New
Years or other event off the 4th, do please let us know and we'lllook to how we can help make
it huge for you." Ms. Mira LaCous, Hollywood Pyrotechnics, Inc.
On November 8, 2012, the City Manager via Letter to Commission (LTC) No. 289-2012,
